Had issues with the original roof and multiple attempts at a sunroof delete so finally pulled the trigger and replaced the entire roof skin with one from a base model Suburban. Really wish I could post videos on here

Please post pics as you go. I heard you can post videos but has to do with going thru you tube or something like that.

By the way, I say that little blue car behind you needs more speakers in the doors. Must sound like a church mouse going down the road.

Why the roof replacement? And why the sunroof delete? Was it causing issues? Also you can post videos here by uploading them to YouTube and then copying and pasting the link into a thread response here and the forum will automatically import the video link and make it visible in the thread.

i think you can fit more speakers in the doors . its not enough until your ears bleed right! joking aside ive done my share of patch panels and and panel replacements and i think i suck at it. i probably would have just bought one without a sunroof. but i geuss swapping all that equipment would be equally as aggravating. regardless looks good definitely should have taken more pictures or a couple good videos.

3 short clips for you guys. I wish I got more but I really had to make this a 1 day project so I didn’t really have time to stop what I was doing to record and take pictures

No Fear! Get er done and move on to the next step. Are you going to mechanically seal or use adhesives to secure the roof skin?

I used both methods, seam sealer and welding

That takes balls!
